"94 Points. Matured in 500L, 18% new French puncheons. A bright cherry red. Aromas of red and black fruits together with some rose bush scents and brown spices precede the nicely concentrated and well-structured palate. The fact that this will get even better over the next three to five years underlines just how well priced this is. $30. Drink: 2025 - 2029. 13% alc."- Philip Rich, winecompanion.com.au.
"A dainty soft red berried wine with hints of bilberry and juniper. There are strawberry guavas, rhubarb and redcurrants on the vine. A fresh orange veil and a wealth of juicy acidity. So alive with citrus and berries it feels quite the health tonic. Silky tannins and an undercurrent of red clay, dried leaves and cassia bark. There is plenty of intrigue and is drinking well one on its own but has the ability to age further for another 3-4 years. Try this with a Moroccan beef and prune couscous. 92 Points. Drink: 2025 - 2029. $30."- Shanteh Wale, winepilot.com.
